I am not sure that this is a good idea. The user should have the right to remove your application data if they want to. > Don't create the directory through the debian package, but let > the application create the directory when there's a need (e.g. > just when you want to store your app specific files). This is most likely a good idea. There are a number of places specified by the FHS as to where exactly you should put user data, depending on how long you want it around, if it is a config file, or the type it is stored as. In any case, this is not something you do in your package but rather in your application while interacting with the file system.

Don't create the directory through the debian package, but let the application create the directory when there's a need (e.g. just when you want to store your app specific files).

User-specific files for maemo packages
hi there; I wonder how can I put some user-specific files on the filesystem that can't get removed when my application package is uninstalled. for normal Linux systems, I can fimd user-settings/specific files stored inside hidden folders inside the /home/user_name folder ( for example: firefox's browser-cache, installed addons and history files are all located inside a hidden folder called /home/user/.mozilla ) I tried to do so for my maemo application packafe, So, I created a hidden folder .app_name/ and put it inside the folders my_package_folder/home/user/ , I created the package out of the folder and everything is alright when i deploy my package to the phone. but the problem id : when I uninstall the package, the hidden folder i created inside /home/user/ gets deleted too, as the apt keeps track of all extracted files. what can I do to fix that? thanks in advance ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
